The Dunlop CX Doubles is a specialized, high-performance squash racket purposefully engineered for the distinct, fast-paced demands of hardball doubles squash.
While the majority of the CX flagship line is designed for standard singles play, the CX Doubles is built with a significantly reinforced layout to withstand the physical demands, heavier ball, and high-velocity collisions typical of the doubles court.
Core Performance Description
- Reinforced Structural Stability: Weighing in at an unstrung frame weight of 145g, this is noticeably heavier than its singles counterparts (like the CX 120 or 125). This extra mass is crucial for doubles play, providing the necessary "plow-through" and structural rigidity to handle the heavier hardball without twisting or fluttering on impact.
- The Power and Control Balance: Features a full-sized 500 cm² traditional closed-throat head shape paired with a dense 16 X 19 string pattern. The larger head shape maximizes raw power generation and broadens the sweet spot, while the tight string bed provides the precise, surgical directional control required to safely guide the ball past three other players on court.
- Rapid Maneuverability: Despite its heavier, ultra-durable frame construction, the racket is engineered with a distinct head-light balance. This keeps the overall setup remarkably agile, allowing for split-second reaction volleys, quick defensive blocks, and high racket head speed in crowded spaces.
Key Technologies
- Sonic Core with Infinergy® (by BASF): Formulated into the 2 and 10 o'clock areas of the head frame. This super-elastic E-TPU material absorbs heavy impact shock and dampens frame vibrations, significantly reducing arm fatigue during long, grueling cross-court baseline rallies.
- Premium Graphite Construction: Utilizes top-tier carbon fiber layers cross-woven to maximize the racket's lifecycles against accidental wall clips or court floor scrapes, which are much more common in doubles.
Summary: The Dunlop CX Doubles is a dedicated, highly durable weapon built specifically for the doubles arena. It brilliantly offsets its heavy-duty 145g frame with a head-light balance, giving tactical players maximum stability, a generous sweet spot, and lightning-quick hand speed at the front wall.
